Crashing waves are better than crashing bikes...Yesterday, I got hit by a car. It was something that I was always aware might happen again, but not in that day-to-day visceral fear that I dealt with for a while after my first accident.

When I started looking ahead to 2013, I fully expected that I'd return to Texas, which is a fantastic race and one that I'm eager to return to again.
